#questworld

Questworld (1982) is an odd Chaosium box set. When I think of RuneQuest, I think of the world of Glorantha, but Glorantha wasn’t always baked into the RPG. Chaosium published a number of books for non-Glorantha RuneQuest play, which they dubbed “Gateway” products. This was necessary as Glorantha was Greg Stafford’s world and everything published in that world needed Stafford’s approval, so Gateway was a way to publish more RQ material without that time-consuming hurdle. Most of Chaosium’s Gateway stuff was general supplements (monsters, treasures) but Questworld is dedicated to its own campaign world called, well…Questworld.  

It takes the form of a setting overview book and nine scenarios that flesh the world out through play. Oh, and it isn’t entirely separate from Glorantha – those gods are worshipped here too. Making matters slightly more confusing, on the Stafford Codex, Greg classifies QuestWorld as a supplement to the Worlds of Wonder box that facilitated cross-over play between all the Basic RPG games (Call of Cthulhu, Superworld, Stormbringer, etc). The box only details one continent, the intention being for third party designers to create and publish their own continents, though I am fairly certain no one did.

I have tried to read through Questworld on a number of occasions but it just doesn’t hold my interest. Its too…generic. Honestly, the thoroughly unexciting cover art really says it all.

Hi-lo everyone!! The crew/stowaways of this Trainwreck are back in action, but so are their Green Cloaked Assassin Pals! Hold up, there's more of these cats? Just how many people are they sending after Marianne, and where are they getting all of these matching cloaks??? 

Asking for a friend who would also really like a green cloak... for non-assassin reasons.

Episode 14 “See Bee Tee” is out and available for a listen now! If you are also looking to find answers to these cloak-related questions you probably aren't going to find them in this ep friends. But! If you’re maybe looking for info on How To Calm An Iimish, what's the Airspeed Velocity of an old can of beans, or how thick a Gatorborn’s hide is we may be able to help ya out there. 

Hi-lo everyone, I’m Michael Sayre. And I'm Mike Sayre. And I am also Michael Sayre. You too are Mike Sayre. You could say(re) that we are all Mike Sayre and Mike Sayre is all of us. And as Michael Sayre we should forfeit all of our mortal possessions and decision making responsibilities to Mike Sayre. Only then can we truly all become one Mike Sayre. Thank you, Mike Sayre.

Episode 12 “And I’m Mike Sayre!” is out now! You can listen to Mike Sayre’s new (mostly)One Man Show directly from our website or on any of the various podcast platforms listed in the link in our bio. There’s a lot of other great stuff going on in this one gang, but lemme tell you we are equally Thicc of Brain and Dumb of Ass here. Balanced, as all things should be.
